Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance. ³Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual. If irregular colouring occurs on your television These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations. If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes. The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television. Use only the supplied speakers. Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected. Front speakers Left and right front speakers are exactly same. Surround speakers Place either side of the listening position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter higher than ear level with the Technics logo facing toward the listening position. The effect varies with the type of music and the music source. If you are unable to position the surround speakers as recommended You can put them near the front speakers and still achieve a surroundlike effect (á page 26, VIRTUAL REAR SURROUND). Attaching to a wall Set the speaker onto screws and slide through bracket to lock into position. 70 mm 30–35 mm Ø7.5–9.5 mm 7–9 mm Note The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 5 kC per screw.
